Hey guys, I have really been enjoying my FRN knives and was curious as to what your 3 favorite ones are. Be as specific as you can with the descriptions. My three I own right now are my brown Endura 4 ffg, orange Dragonfly 2, and Native 1 PE. Pics are always welcome too!

I would say my three favorites are: 1 Tasman Salt, 2 Endura Saber Grind, Plain Edge (as you may have seen in my sharpening post picture) and 3 Native FRN with VG-10 Steel.
I love how the FRN handle on the Native feels, and I love the slickness and beauty of the drop point blade of the Native. The Tasman Salt is beautiful to behold, and to cut with, it shears through strings and paper and cardboard and fruits and veggies like they were soft butter.

I'm a big fan of FRN much like how I appreciate my polymer guns. Light, strong, awesome.
1. ZDP Stretch Blue AND BRG: My most carried and used folders overall. Nuff said!
2. ZDP Endura: Another favorite.
3. Pacific Salt serrated black: My only serrated folder and it's incredibly durable for a liner less 3 ouncer.
4. ZDP DFly: Perfect big-little knife, Ill take it over my G10 version nine times out of ten.
I'm sure the FRCP N5 lightweight will be a favorite as well.

1. Stretch Green ZDP-189. Love the handle color, great ergos, great steel, big enough for pretty much any EDC task, yet light and slim enough that it disappears into the pocket. Has that perfect opening hole-to pivot ratio that makes it among the easiest to open Spydies out there.
2. Old school Native III in Blue FRN w/ VG-10. Still the best feeling version of the Native to my hand. I really like the 3d sculpted handle, though I will say I prefer the jimping on top of the blade on the newer models. Plus, two words: WIRE CLIP.
3. Meerkat black drop point. Really regret trading this one away several years ago. Great little "sheeple" friendly knife and the "phantom lock" was really fun to tease people with. Missed the boat on the burgundy sprint, so hoping for another run...
